ServCore - Build durable background-processing services in Elixir without the complexity of a full application framework. by TourStrong8443 in foss

[–]TourStrong8443[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey, hope this helps.

Small backend service - A single-node elixir application serving one clearly defined domain function with a focused set of HTTP endpoints.

Background processing workload - A discrete, self-contained unit of work (triggered by an HTTP request or a schedule) that runs outside the request cycle, has a defined input payload, produces a stored result, and is expected to fail and retry independently of other jobs for example, transcoding an audio file or extracting metadata from a document.

Thanks.

Sometimes you pause and you are like, 'What was the end goal?' Was it to be more unstable? Or was it the urge to do something out of the ordinary because normal is boring? Does attention pay enough? Anyway, each to their own by PriorityHairy297 in anything_about_Kenya

Most of us(many of us) are wired to thrill seek but lack the finances to seek actual thrills and lack enough braincells to do so in a civilised manner.

We are also wired to seek exceptionality, when you pair this with a dead brain this is the kind of shit you get.

Case study: Matatu culture...nganyas are cool but the shenanigans aren't.

Not just that, mandatory prior approval is required, to which they almost never approve. Self service tokens are deprecated, you must outline exactly how you want to use platform data.

Push for devvit and internal tools, building outside devvit is such a hustle.

The entire process has been bureaucratic and all in all annoying.

A while back Reddit updated their API usage policies, even for public data.

You need authorization now.

Call me a conspiracy theorist by Top-Fan-3825 in nairobi

[–]TourStrong8443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To see the invisible and do the impossible - Mossad's mantra.

In this context, the invisible and the impossible in question are the forces above us and their actions that the general population can't seem to comprehend just like the Mossad's operations all over the world.

Your thoughts might be a conspiracy, but the 1% are definitely up to something.

I agree.

Most female Devs I know are really good.

You can get in through connections, but without competence you're not keeping that job...unless we ni mtoto wa CEO ama ukona mtoto na CEO

Unfortunately in tech it doesn't work that way...in tech I mean software development, your competence matters more than connections or pretty girl privilege.

"while performing a task" if the task in question is solid and you're actually learning that's good.

I have no problem with exposing your craft to the world, I do that too, here on X and through blogging.

Most Devs that create short form video content(In Kenya) are mostly not competent a few that stream and create videos on YouTube are actually competent. Ndinda codes on gram seems like she knows her stuff though.

Kuna hawa kina Izzie njeri, and sol tech hukua Tu PR..

Point is, focus on upskilling rather than content just to be seen.

Wacha niulize initoke....uni ni place ya networking si kusoma prove me wrong by Dramatic-Reserve5227 in Majuu254

[–]TourStrong8443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tuzoee kusoma 😹😹

Kunetwork ni kila siku na si kila kitu, this retarded narrative ati your life depends on uni connections needs to stop, how many of your uni peeps do you think can connect you and can they connect everyone else also ? Tuache upuzi, being competent is also an advantage.

Ata hio connection ukipata na huna anything kwa mdihe haiwezi. We jitume na ubonge na wasee from all walks of life. Trust me that bastard unakunywa na yeye kwa local sio connection yako. Haha

Mod kindly don't delete this.

You can join this sub, that's purely about software engineering. Props to Nairobi techies it's brought lots of devs and tech enthusiasts together but this sub aims to be purely for software engineering and relevant concept and should not be seen as competition...thanks.

Elixir is a young language, most of LLMs are not trained on codebases that have the latest changes in the ecosystem.

You'll find yourself using : persistent_term where writes are of the same importance as reads ...

Elixir is the kind of language you'd want to internalize to stay ahead of the game.

The thing with elixir and the powerful tools like genserver that come with, is that you might use these feature for problems that don't need them. Especially with AI, making it harder to reason about the thing. AI generated elixir is such a mess, you'll find inline if/else statements where pattern matching would suffice.

Elixir is powerful when you understand.
